Where can I buy a Miata\Civic\Group51 battery tray
Is there a vendor that sells one? If not I would think there is a market for it... Sort of like the short route piping for the stock battery CBRD makes. Its just that the price is a lil excessive.
I don't want to run a mini battery (because of harsh winters) and I would prefer the short route piping. (because of the size of the Tial Q bov)

ah i've been pondering this. so it seems a good portion that runs the 51r battery fabs up their own stuff. there is a market for it, just no one has mass produced, i hope it changes.
but... dont expect the price to be any lower than 100 bucks. so it seems thats the range for the mini batts.

I had one made. It's good because its a cross that goes under the battery but over the tray. I used a nylock under the tray and ran a threaded rod thru it. It costed about 90 to have it perfectly fabbed up but well worth it. it took me about 3 months to decide on miata or honda but the honda is more conventional to recharge vs the miata plus the honda's CCA are closer to stock than the miata, but they both beat a mini batt any day. I'll take a pic when I get a chance, just pm me if I forget. haha

I'm running a Miata battery from O'Reilly Auto. It's an AGM battery but most other stores only sold acid filled batteries. I made the tray out of a piece of aluminum I had. I used a vice to bend it. Here's a pic.
